i personally really like high school bc elementary was pure cringy little kid drama and i made a lot of new friends

just remember to learn to map out the school and esp the bathrooms, and to study hard. also, say hi to ppl beside you in class and any friends of friends bc friends are good. just having someone to say hi to or copy notes from is nice.

What they've all said. Don't be afraid to ask a teacher for help if you're lost. Also, join a club or two. It'll help you make new friends 'cuz those people also voluntarily joined as well, so at least y'all have a common interest

Talk to as many people as possible. That kid sitting by themselves on the bleachers will probably become your friend anyway, so leave a good first impression. Besides, not many people like eating alone.

Get and stay on the teacher’s good sides. They’ll be less likely to get mad at you, and will be nicer to you as well. Some are actually pretty cool people.

Study every question on that study guide. Nine times out of ten, it will be on the list.

Work hard, yes, but also take chances and make new experiences. If nothing else, you’ll get a good story out of it.

Don’t procrastinate...too much. After a certain amount it will begin to affect you negatively.
